Goodbye 2011

It's time to say goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012. Tonight my hubby and I are rolling in the new year with my best friend and her hubby!

So much has happened this past year. I thank God for everything that He has put me through this year and where I am now. My life has drastically changed this year and honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way!

I pulled some pictures to highlight some of the events of 2011 that I will most remember. 

I graduated from Binghamton University with a Bachelor's in Accounting. 

My last name officially changed from "Brown" to "Rose" as I married the love of my life. 

My hubby and I ran away to Cabo for an amazing honeymoon. I ask Roger all the time to take me back! 

My very best friend also married the love of her life this year. I was completely honored to be in her wedding. 

 The day after Shannon's wedding, we packed all of our belongings into this tiny U-Haul and moved to North Carolina!

My hubby and I in front of our first apartment. Together <3 

 My mom and her boyfriend visited us this summer as well. I have to admit that I love my relationship with my mom. I wish she would just move in next to me!! 

 Roger and I made a special trip to the beach right after we moved in. I love living so close to the ocean. 

 We hosted Thanksgiving this past year. We fit 10 people into our tiny apartment but it was well worth it!

 I was able to meet my newest nephew, Dawson. What a complete blessing he is to me. Actually, his whole family is a blessing with me. I love the time that I was able to spend with Dave and Jeanne. 

 We were also able to make a trip home for Christmas. My adorable baby brother has grown up so much.   I was able to visit with him and also talk to my brother who is serving overseas. 

 I spent Christmas morning with my brother-in-laws. They humored me and slept under the Christmas tree with me. Although I have only known them for a few years, I feel like I have known them forever.

And of course, I spent my very first Christmas as a wife. I am beyond blessed to be married to this man.

Here's to a new year full of new adventures!
